The CEO’s appreciation post 

Gupta expresses her gratitude to the medical team in a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter): 

“I had a bad fall and subsequent head injury last Sunday.  Had to be rushed for emergency medical care and then treatment.  Despite it being a Sunday morning, I managed to get an ambulance, excellent care, tests, and stitches within a few hours thanks to the efficient team at Jaslok Hospital.  I was back home in 2.5 hours of the fall.  Have lived and seen medical emergencies in many very "developed" parts of the world where long waits at ERs spanning hours and hours are common and medical care even when your head is bleeding is not immediate (despite paying a lot of money for insurance).  We aren't a perfect country, but there are many things we do right, and for this, I am very grateful.”
